KALLMANN GLAS-S, OF NEW YORK, N.Y Y.

CABINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 621,067, dated March 14, 1899. Application filed October 15, 1898. serial No. 693.586. '(No model.)

To all whom it may concern: l

Be it known that 1, KALLMANN GLAss, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, State of New York, have in` vented certain new and useful Improvements in Cabinets, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to a cabinet of novel construction and which combines in a peculiar manner a table or stand, a coal-bin', a wood-receptacle, a boot-blacking stand, and an ash-sitter, the latter two being removable from the body of the cabinet, so that they can be used separately.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my improved cabinet; Fig. 2, a vertical section on line 2 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a plan showing the drop-leaves h raised; Fig. 4, a section on line 4 4, Figs. 1 and 2; Fig. 5, a side view of the blacking-stand and ash sitter combined, showing them withdrawn from the cabinet; and Fig. 6, a section on line 6 6, Fig. 5.

The letter A represen ts the bodyof the cabinet, having a raised bottom a, and a partition a abovethe same to form an intervening kindling-wood receptacle b, accessible by a hinged front door b. Above the receptacle b the cabinet A contains a coal-bin c, having an inclined false-bottom c', which guides the coal to the discharge-orifice, which is closed by a semicircular drop-lid vc2. This drop-lid is provided with a semicircular peripheral flange c3, which serves to confine the coal when the lid is open, and with a curved rear edge c4, engaging a groove d2 of partition a. The drop-lid turns vertically on pivots placed centrally above the transverse groove a2, and the groove is struck from said lid-pivots as centers. Thus when the lid is opened this curved edge traverses the groove a2, and thus ejeots any coal therefrom which would be apt to clog the lid.

Within the lower part of the cabinet A and below the raised bottom a is contained a sliding boot-blacking stand d, which can be bodily withdrawn from'the cabinet, but which if in place has its front cl' iushwi-th that of the cabinet. The stand d has a raised bottom d2 to form an upper chamber, which contains the foot-rest cl3, and is by a number of partitions d4 divided into compartments adapted to contain the blacking materials.

Below the raised bottom d2 the front d of stand cZ-has a square opening that receives a removable drawer e, sliding on rails d5 of stand d; This drawer is in turn provi-ded with rails e', upon which is supported a smaller inner drawer f, having a wire-gauze bottom f and constituting an ash-sieve movable within outer drawer e. The inner drawer may be manipulated by a handle f2, projecting through a perforation e2 of outer drawer e, so that in this way the ashes may be screened without spreading any dust, the ashes dropdrawer'e.

To the top of the cabinetA there are hinged at both sides the drop-leaves h, adapted to be supported by laterally-swinging hinged brackets h. The leaves h, as well as the top A ping into apan g, placed upon bottom of plate a3 of cabinet A, are provided'with a railing v1 to constitute a support or tablefor a gas-stove, wash-basin, or similar household article.

It will be seen that my cabinet is compact in structure and that it may be readily put to the uses foi-'which it is designed.

' What I claim is- In a cabinet, the combination of partition a, with door b', inclined bottom c', iianged drop-lid c2, sliding stand d, having raised bottomd2, foot-rest cl3, and rails d5, outer drawer e, having rails c', and sliding on rails d5, inner drawer f, having wire-gauze bottom f',

and handle f2, and movable within the outer drawer, substantially as specified.

Signed by me, at New York city, New York,

-this 5th day of October, 1898.

KALLMANN GLAss.
